THE PROCESS OF HEALING
Question—Please explain the process of healing, accomplished by a practitioner for a patient. One can easily accept the idea of an individual receiving help through making his own contact, but how a third person can do more than just assist the patient by stimulating his own faith is rather vague.

ANSWER—The process of mental healing is 0ne of mentally knowing that the one being helped is Now Perfect. There is but one Mind in the universe and all are in this Mind. When you know the truth within this Mind you are knowing it within the mind of your patient—if he is receptive to the Truth. The practitioner does not hold a thought, nor does he send out a thought. He thinks the Truth, leaving the result to the action of the Law.

FEAR OF ACCIDENTS
Question—My wife has just been through two serious accidents, one an auto accident, and one a fall from which she received a crushed elbow. She is absolutely consumed with fear of something else happening to her. Can you suggest how to help her combat her sense of fear?

ANSWER—It is easy to sense the old superstition, "If one accident occurs there will surely be three," at work here. There is no more power in this old idea than we give to it. Of course, if you definitely expect the third one, it will come to you. That is the way the law works. But if you definitely know that two accidents are a-plenty and that you neither expect nor accept another, because "accidents" do not belong to you, you will free yourself of the old subtle race belief, which delivered the second accident to you. Neutralize the (page 100) fear of accidents by knowing there are no accidents in Divine Mind. Speak your word for Divine protection. You are one with the Originating Spirit and your word has power. Stop fearing by knowing and practicing faith in your good.
